You’ve been talking about your first day of school for months. You love watching the neighbors get on and off the bus next door. We got you a backpack to take back and forth to the sitter’s so you could be like the big kids. You’re more than ready for this. It’s not you I’m worried about. It’s me. Before …

I’m sorry. Those words have never felt so inadequate, so insignificant. Because I am so much more than sorry. I’m sad. And angry. And confused. And heartbroken.

Collect memories. Not things. This is my mantra going into 2018.

Welcome to Winging Motherhood! I’m Misty, a picture-taking, coffee-loving, physician assistant in Buffalo, NY. When I’m not working or chasing my girls, you can find me on the local running trails or getting lost in a good book.

We love to explore our hometown of Buffalo, especially now that we can share it with our girls.
